name your favorite isu basketball coach

i liked maury john. he did not have enough time to make his imprint on iowa state basketball players because he died early from cancer.he was the gospel
of the bellybuttton defense. i sure liked his drake teams.
if coach fred hoiberg continues on his great efforts,i think he will develop iowa state into a very good basketball school.

the mayor is sure doing a great job!!!!!

floyd and eustacy(sp.)were very good coaches.too
give me the name of your favorite iowa state basketball coach.thanks....

Re: name your favorite isu basketball coach

In my lifetime Iowa State has had Orr, Floyd, LE, Wayne, and Freddy. Out of those, I am too young to remeber Orr and I barely remeber Floyd's tenure. LE had a couple good seasons but it seemed to be mainly off of Floyd's recruits. Then LE blew up in the Elite 8 and secured our loss to MSU. Wayne's team was fun to watch every now and then, but they never really had sustained success.

So that leaves me with Mr. Fred Hoiberg. Last season wasn't the greatest but that's expected after what the previous coach did. This season, however, has been a complete blast. Other than the games against UNI and Drake I really haven't had much to complain about. Currently, I would say he is tied with Floyd and LE as my favorite all time Cyclones' coach. Depending on how this year finishes and how next season goes there is a very good chance he surpasses the other two very soon.

Going to take a lot of convincing to get me to change my vote from Larry Eustachy. I know the way he left ISU was not the prettiest but that 99-00 season that came 3 minutes away from a Final 4 and possibly a National Championship and that to me is the benchmark for ISU greatness in basketball right now.
